Today in partnership with Walmart Fashion, I am bringing you all the stylish comfort. In my opinion purple is the most underrated color when it comes to fall/winter fashion. It’s mostly likely because it isn’t tied to any specific holiday. Halloween has us donning pumpkin hues. At Thanksgiving we add browns, yellows, and reds to the mix. Then the holiday season comes and we forget that there are any colors other than green, red and gold. Without a holiday to cling to, purple really doesn’t get the attention it deserves! So honor of this secret stunner, I present you with this cosy purple look.
Lounging in Lilac
For this look, I went back to my fashion roots. There was a solid year in college where every day I wore simple sweatsuits in bold colors. It wasn’t because I was lazy, no! It’s because sweatpants can be fashion. For example, these sweatpants, sweatshirt and contrasting tee from Terra & Sky create a simple look that makes a statement. Paired with some basic white plimsolls and you’ve got an epic run errands, lounge at home, comfort queen look. I love this set so much I own it in three colors!

The collection includes 27 fun fashion pieces and is available in sizes 14-28 and will be available on both Walmart and Eloquii’s website.
.
I put together two looks using pieces from the new Eloquii Elements line to inspire you. I wanted to show you a few fun ways to wear one of my favorite colors for fall, olive green! This mossy hue is virtually a neutral and is very on trend for this fall. This first look airs a fun olive green and black zebra print dress , with a fun and cozy cropped dolman sweater.
I could write an entire love note to the leggings. They are thick and structured enough to wear as pants, aren’t see through when you bend over and the faux leather detailing is so chic. I paired them with a puff sleeve ribbed tee and an ultra cool faux leather jacket for a modern biker look I just adore.

Overall the collection offers timeless, fashion forward pieces with a price tag any fashionista can afford; most of the collection prices at under $35! I really liked how easy it was to mix and match the pieces.

I remember very clearly the day I became obsessed with the colors red + pink together. My tale isn’t one of Valentine’s day glory, but rather vignette into my own education in color. I was around 5 or 6 at a church activity. We were cutting shapes out of fabric to decorate white t-shirts. I’d fallen in love with this bright strawberry print and I was meticulously cutting out each individual berry to glue onto my soon to be very fashionable tee. Even as a child, I was type A. My strawberries were perfect. Once glued into place, the next step was to trace them in puffy paint to help them stay in place.
I remember grabbing a red puffy paint to begin my perfect outline only to realize I had mistakenly selected a bright pink shade. I was devastated. I cried big emotional tears at my failure. Red didn’t go with pink. It was wrong. It was different. My shirt was ruined. Now I don’t have a lot of good memories of my mother as she was sick so much of my life, but what she did next will always stick with me. She stopped, looked me right in the eyes and said,
“When something you have no control of in your life is different from the norm you have two choices: You can be upset and fight it or you can embrace it and help everyone see how beautiful it is.”
We went back to that t-shirt and outlined each red berry in that bright pink. We added little pink dots to each of the fabric fruits. In the end, I loved that t-shirt so much more than I ever could imagine. What I learned from that moment is that we have opportunities every day to choose how to view our experiences. How often do we cry and lament because they feel weird instead of seeing them just as they really are- pretty darn awesome.
Pink Strawberry Fashion Magic
This modern take on that childhood learning is perhaps one of my favorite I’ve ever put together. I’ve literally been showing it to strangers all week, because I’m proud of it. It’s not just super cool looking, but it’s an ode to my own journey. The dress I snagged off amazon. I adore it’s asymmetrical neckline and feel it gives a nice modern swagger to the look. The oversized sweater is from H&M and is one of my favorite pieces I’ve purchased in the last 6 months. I’ve closed the sweater with a red leather tassel belt- an oldie but still goody- from Lane Bryant. The flats are my favorite neutral shoes found at Old Navy.
I embraced the pink and red magic in my eye shadow as well. I created a half circle of bold bubble gum pink using Sugar Pills Dollipop shadow on each eye lid. I then used Nyx Vivid Brights in Fire to line my lids and water line. Using Colour Pops Creme Gel Liner in Exit I added white accents under the water line and at the brow. I kept my face completely neutral otherwise and used Winky Luxes Lip Velour Matte Lipstick in Ghosting with a light pink slightly creamy gloss on top to dull the sparkle just a smidge.
Red And Pink Essentials:
I’ve rounded up some of my red and items that are perfect for Valentine’s Day or just for any day really. Love is love and should be celebrated always.

In Spring 2018, the color is, well, all of them. Multicolor prints are having a moment- primarily in two bold variations. One is the concept of rainbow or multicolor variations of traditional stripes, dots and patterns. Dolce & Gabana sent bold multi-color dress with rainbow corsets down the aisle, while Emporio Armani showed off crisp many hued pinstripe suiting. The second popular iteration of this trend is art inspired multicolored pieces. Missoni sent pieces with prints inspired by Andy Warhol down the spring 2018 runway and Coach doubled down on their collaboration with Keith Haring’s estate.
Multi-Color For the Real World
For most of us a wardrobe of technicolor fashion may seem way beyond our comfort zone; heck sometimes all rainbow print can be scary. However, have no fear! Rocking this trend doesn’t mean that you need a full ROY G BIV moment. Nay! Instead looks for dress, skirts, shirts, and more with patterns that boast at least 4 different colors. This is fashion, not skittles, you don’t need to actually taste the rainbow.
Styled: Stripes of Many Shades
The dress pictured above is from Modcloth. It’s 100% on trend with out looking like my annual outfit for the pride parade. I particularly like the unusual color pairings; who knew mint could look so good with orange? The cardigan layered over top pulls the look together. with it’s multi-colored buttons. It’s a subtle and wearable way to give a nod to this season’s most colorful trend. The shoes and bag featured here are no longer available

Harper’s Bazaar, W Magazine, Vogue Paris and many other fashion gods noted that florals- and especially those with a vintage charm- are a staple part of the Spring 2018 wardrobe. However this glitter bomb, must argue the retro print floral pants are are the very forefront of this trend. Let’s talk about why.
Floral Dresses and Shirts Aren’t New
Trends by definition, represent a change in direction from the norm. Floral print blouses, skirts and dresses- while still very much en vogue- have been around a very long awhile. They also aren’t going anywhere. They’re basically a staple and can be found in some variation in nearly every woman’s wardrobe. The prints may change season to season, but I think over the last 30 years it’s been pretty easy to find any of these pieces in a floral print. But floral pants? Unless you’re a vintage fan or shop retro forward brands, you probably would have been hard pressed to find a well cut trouser in a bright floral up until recently.
How to Rock Floral Pants: The Basics
Now sometimes floral pants get a bad rep. People call them grandma-y or frumpy. Oh hell no. Floral pants can be modern, edgy and chic. The easiest way to rock a bold floral print pant is to pair it with tailored solids that highlight various tones in the pant. Here I’ve taken these rad 1960s inspired daisy print plus size pants from Modcloth and paired them with a light pink, long line blouse from New Look (no longer available, similar style linked), knotted at the waist. To add a touch of pizazz to the top, I buttoned the collar of the shirt all the way up and wore pearl chain necklace around it- I call this my jewelry bow tie. Lastly, I accentuated the teal in the pants with this architecturally styled coat from Eloquii (no longer available, similar style linked) and I drew out the burgundy tones in the print with a cute wine colored heel.
How to Rock Floral Pants: Advanced
For more advanced fancy pants action, try pairing two different florals in similar hues together. You can take the same approach with any print- even stripes. I personally am loving some of the stripe and floral pairings I have been seeing floating around on the internet. Maybe it’s because I just love any excuse to put more colors on my body at once. Yep, it’s probably that.
